Back Cover:

Paris, 1900. As a little girl, Sonia witnesses the slaughter of her parents by a mysterious man with a steel arm. Years later in Rome, she is hired as a dressmaker by a wax museum owned by sinister artist Boris Volkoff, who creates perfect replicas of famous crime scenes. A series of strange deaths in the area has led a young journalist, Andrea, to investigate the mysterious vaults of the museum. Curiously, the workshop in which Volkoff's wax statues are created seems more like a scientific laboratory than a sculptor's den. Andrea and Sonia are soon plunged into a nightmare as they both learn the secret behind Volkoff's statutes and the connection he bears to the steel-armed murderer of Sonia's parents.
